Duddenhausen was a clerk in the office of the treasurer of the United States; subsequently ho held down a land office in Oxford, Idaho; today he is a pros- Perous citizen of Port Townsend, in the state of Washington, and at the same time is enjoy- ing s holiday among friends in this city. Mr. Duddenhausen thinks there is but one place superior to the national capital and that is Port Townsend. In everything that goes to make a town a thorough-going success no Place is so well supplied as is Mr. Dudden- hausen’s legal residence. Location, business advantages, scenery, population, healthfulness and several other things too numerous to be mentioned in one day combine to prove that Port Townsend cither was, or ought to rill been, the original site of the Garden of PORT TOWNSEND'S MANY ADVANTAGES, “While the wretched inhabitants of Port- land,” said Mr. D. to a Sram reporter, “an- nually swim through four feet two inches of rain, we of Port Townsend scarcely put up our umbrellas for arainfallof eighteen inches. If we wanted or needed more moisture we could probably get it, but we have everything nicely arranged just now and are satisfied. “How is tho senatorial fight getting along? Warm. Senator Squire, of course, wants to be re-elected, but his desire is no more vigorous than that of W. H. Calkins, and Mr. Calky will movo overything possible to prevent Squire's return. “Why will he? Because he wants to come to the Senate himself. It is within the bounds of possibility that each may defeat the other, in which event a very pretty fight will ensue, There is no lack of material for that position, Allan Weir, now secretary of state, would be a willing man and so would Representative John Wilson. Under or- dinary circumstances neither of them will suc- ceed. We shall be entitled to another Repro- sentative under the new apportionment and that will go to Weir. Wilson will be re-elected by a big majority, FORMER WASHINGTONIANS NOW IN THE WEST. “Some former Washingtonians are doing well in the west. E. 0. Graves, ex-chief of the bureau of ongraving and printing, is ac- cumulating wealth as president of @ Seattle bank. At Omahal stopped over to see ex- ‘Treasurer A. U. Wyman. He is president of bank and of a loan and trust company there, but his health is not as good as it might be. He will probably move out to Port Townsend im the spring. It will bea good thing for Port Townsend and no less of a good thing for Mr. Wyman.” a A THOUSAND A YEAR, What Eighty-Four Clerks Appointed in the Pension Office Will Get.

Applications have been made tothe Treasury Department by importers who had tobacco in bonded warehouses prior to the passage of the act of October 1, 1890, for permission to with- draw the same at the weights as ascertained at the time of said withdrawal. These applica- tions aro based on the sccond proviso of section 50 of the tariff act which pre- scribes that ‘when duties are based on the weight of merchandise deposited in any public or private bonded warehouso said du- ties shall be levied and collected upon the weight of such merchandise at the time of its withdrawal.” Assistant Secretary Spaulding says that aftera careful consideration of the department is of opinion that such applica- tions cannot be granted inasmuch as under the first proviso of said section special privilege is conferred upon merchandise, which, like tobacco, is subject to increased cuties under the new tariff act of allowing it to be withdrawn for consumption at any time prior to February 1 next upon the payment of duty at tho lower rates prescribed by the old tariff acta. Gen. Spaulding says further: “Merchandise sub- ject to increased duty under tho n tariff act is thus entitled to withdrawal at the old rates, which are lower than the new rates, and consequently it must be held that tho withdrawal entries for consumption of such merchandise made prior to February 1, 1891, must cover the same Smee ig merchandise as to weights, as if the entries had been made prior to the date when the act of October 1, 189, took effect; in other words the department must de- cide that when the importer shall elect to withdraw his merchandise under the first pro- viso, areweighing atthe time of withdrawal cannot be allowed for the reason that the 80 withdrawn by virtue thereof must be treated as exclusively subject to the provisions of the law in force prior to the passage of “said act.” a : Bws For Furxwxine Antiwtgry Honsrs.— Bids were opened this morning at the office of the depot quartermaster in this city in the War tment for furnishing five artillery horses pede at Washington barracks, But two pro- were received, as Hoge J. — 230 per horse; Jos.
